Oversensitivity to uncertain future threat is usefully conceptualized as intolerance of uncertainty (IU). Neuroimaging studies of IU to date have largely focused on its relationship with brain function, but few studies have documented the association between IU and the quantitative properties of brain structure. Here, we examined potential gray and white-matter brain structural correlates of IU...

Research has shown that intolerance of uncertainty (IU)--the tendency to react negatively to situations that are uncertain--is involved in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). There is uncertainty about the specificity of IU. Some studies have shown that IU is specific for GAD. Other studies have shown that IU is also involved in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). No studies have yet examined ...

Objective: Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is chronic psychiatric disorder with high rate of relapse during the course of illness. It is not well known which factors contribute for the chronicity of the illness, mainly because there are confounding factors as the medication effect. In this study we compared the difference of neurocognitive functions of the first-episode, medication-naive OC...

PURPOSE Anxiety may serve as a major barrier to participation in active surveillance. Intolerance of uncertainty, that is the tendency to perceive the potential for negative events as threatening, has been linked to cancer related worry. Accordingly we explored prospectively the relationship of intolerance of uncertainty with anxiety along with other clinical factors among men treated with acti...

Over the past decade, a number of well-controlled studies have supported the validity of a cognitive model of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) that has four main components: intolerance of uncertainty, positive beliefs about worry, negative problem orientation, and cognitive avoidance. Although these studies have shown that the model components are associated with high levels of worry in nonc...

OBJECTIVE This study tested the relationship between metacognitive factors, intolerance of uncertainty, anxiety, and the predictability of, and distress associated with, acute fluctuations in symptoms in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD), when controlling for disease parameters. METHOD 106 adults with idiopathic PD (30 females; Mage=65.3; 90% white) participated in this study, with 93 of th...
